Learn How You Can “WIN” More Sales With Simple Negotiation Tactics!

These days, successfully closing an MSP sale increasingly requires something that most IT professionals don’t especially like and don’t do very well: Negotiate! Mix in a struggling economy, brutal competition, and price-obsessed customers and vendors, and the conclusion is inescapable: It’s time to improve your negotiating skills! You can’t put this off any longer!

IT’s Simple. Do the math:

If you’re making a 10% net after tax profit, for example, and

Your salespeople could negotiate a 2½% price increase from your customers, and

Your buyers could negotiate a 2½% discount from your vendors,

Your net after tax profit would increase by 50%!

Jim will show you how to do this, and– quickly and easily!

Very few of your customers — and none of your vendors — are charitable organizations. If you expect them to be fair with you and look after your financial needs, you’ll not only be disappointed, you’ll be lucky to stay in business. Better negotiating starts and ends with you.
